2021 BMW 118 1.5L Petrol · KK02 ARP

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 4 May 2026 at 50,299 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a stable trend across the previous three years, indicating that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within operational parameters without triggering any tester failures or preventative warnings. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between February 2024 at 35,008 miles and May 2026 at 50,299 miles, the car covered over 15,000 miles, suggesting regular road use. The short interval between the April 2025 and May 2025 tests, where only 363 miles elapsed, indicates the owner was proactive regarding testing schedules, which often helps prevent the seal degradation and component corrosion associated with long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT record shows no history of suspension wear, brake binding issues, or structural corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on standard wear-related items. Given the 50,000-mile milestone, the buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these often reach the end of their life at this interval. Checking for premature play in the front suspension control arm bushes is also advisable, as the MOT does not always catch minor rubber tears until they affect steering geometry.
